Nevada Employment Lawyers

Employment law are those laws passed in Nevada that apply to employers, employees and independent contractors. These laws apply to every aspect of workplace endeavors, such as hiring practices, wage disputes, and firing of employees. Nevada's employment laws set forth specific mandates that need to be understood by both employers and employees.

At-Will and Contract Employment

Most job relationships in Nevada are on the basis of "at will" employment, but in other cases there may be an employment contract with a predetermined term. "At will" employment implies that either the employee or the employer may end the relationship at any point, so long as the reason for the termination is not prohibited. If the employer and employee are working according to an employment contract, Nevada employment law will govern the various clauses contained in the contract.

The Law of Discrimination in Nevada

Nevada laws prohibiting discrimination usually apply at any stage of the employment process, including hiring, promotions and terminations. The laws of Nevada create various categories against which employers may not discriminate. These may include religion, national origin, age, gender, disability, and race. Lawyers who specialize in workplace discrimination in Nevada can help clarify when behavior may be considered employment discrimination.

The state of Nevada is located in the southwestern region of the United States. The name "Nevada" means "snow-capped mountain range", a reference to the Sierra Nevada mountain range. However, much of the state arid desert land. Nevada received much of its initial growth through the silver mining industry, earning it the nickname of "The Silver State".

Legal claims in Nevada are processed at various levels depending on the type of dispute involved. Nevada maintains a system of Municipal Courts, Justice Courts, District Courts, and a Supreme Court at the highest level. Nevada does not operate a separate system of intermediate appeals courts. Nevada's court system is famous for a whole host of famous cases cited by legal historians, including: "The Posse" case (Smith v. State); "The Gambling on Trial" case (Anderson v. McGill Club); and "The Last Stage Robbery" case (State v. Kuhl).

Nevada's growth can also be attributed to its distinct body of laws, which have attracted many people and organizations to settle in the state. Some of Nevada's laws are incomparable to those of other states. Most notable are Nevada's laws governing divorce, prostitution, smoking, and corporate tax advantages. Nevada has some of the most liberal alcohol laws on the one hand, in contrast with some the country's strictest drug-enforcement laws.

Lawyers in Nevada provide clients with guidance and representation through the state's legal system. Nevada attorneys are often licensed in multiple states, since the state is a center of much inter-jurisdictional activities. Experienced Nevada lawyers are available to provide high-quality legal services.

11/04/2006Due to the free consult, the attorney and I were able to determine that at this time it would be futile to hire an attorney. This type of attorney is without a doubt more interested in providing their clients with valuable information; other then looking to gain value from charging fees when it has been determined the client does not need legal representation at this time.

01/12/2006Mr. Jason B. was far-flung what I expected a fine attorney to be. As I searched for the best possible help for my son, I was in contact with many lawyers who were negative and were only concerned about the cash.
Mr. B. was different and he listened very cautiously and did not prosecute my son when he saw him. He counseled my son to change his life and worked really hard to get the best end result possible for him. If I ever need another attorney or know anyone who does, I will definitely refer Mr. B..
Thanks,
Maria Serrano

09/11/2009Jason B. referred my case to a local lawyer, Jacob Diesselhorst. I have hired him to work my families case. Jacob has been very helpful and understands the problems of using two legal systems (Oklahoma and Ohio). He is currently working to settle our case. I would highly recommend Jacob and his firm, Nix & McIntyre, LLP. I would also like to say Thank You to Jason B. for referring Jacob to me. LEGAL MATCH COM WORKS!!!!!

01/07/2014Mr H. is an awesome attorney. Previous attorneys told me I didn't have a case and then I found Mr H. via Legalmatch. He did an outstanding job and proved the previous attorneys wrong. His aggressive skills got me a very nice settlement without even having to go to court. I will definitely use him again if I ever need an attorney and highly recommend him to anyone else who may need an attorney. He will get the job done!

03/22/2010Ms. G. was just the lawyer that I needed! She was better than the Superior rating! I had tried to get a lawyer through my employee assistance program and that particular person did not return the call that I made twice to him until 2 weeks later! I knew that person was not who I wanted to represent me! Ms. G. was professional, responded quickly and her secretary Shirley was wonderful as well! Thank you both & thank you LegalMatch!
Sincerly,
Donna

02/15/2010The attorney that represented me from this firm was totally outstanding, David Goldfarb. He is a very bright intelligent attorney that is at the top of his career right now. In the first five seconds he did something for me that proved to me that he was the right attorney and he was. My son now currently has sole custody of my grand-daughter, we can sleep at night knowing that she is safe.
You rock David, I will always recommend you to any of my co-workers any time I hear that someone needs an attorney.
Thank you again David!
Sincerely,
Michelle Garland

12/29/2008I actually met with Michele Kunzman at the law firm G., Shields, & Associates, P.A.
I met with her for one hour only for a consultation to see whether or not I had grounds for a case. Michele was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. She explained the law to me in terms that I could understand. Unfortunately, I don't have a strong enough case to pursue the matter. I was very pleased with the way Michele Kunzman conducted the consultation and would highly recommend her to friends or family members.

07/16/2008Ms. G. is still working on my case. She has been so kind, understanding and smart beyond all else. This is not her first rodeo. She does not talk down to me. She makes me feel comfortable, and I feel as if I have an entire team behind me, not just her. I feel she is working toward the same goal that I have... as I am not looking to WIN, but I am looking for what type of custody arrangement will best take care of my children and how to best take care of myself along the way. I researched numerous lawyers, had countless referals, personally spoke with about 15 attorneys, and she has gone out of her way to provide kind, artful human service. I am not a case number and I appreciate that. Thank you Legal Match

03/17/2008Ms. G. has taken an interest in my case. She has reacted to the information that I have given her and feels that I have a "good chance" on winning my case and getting custody of my son. She is working in my best interests and my son's, as well.
